    Burry it in the contract clauses stipulating that the event can’t be used to spread hate. Then cancel as they’re spreading hate.

    “Sorry, didn’t know who you were, or I would have said something sooner. It was brought to my attention yesterday and today we found you’re a hate group.”

    And then hope your security is up to snuff.

      That’s pretty risky… As someone who works in many venues (touring live production), I wouldn’t want to throw venue security into the line of fire like that. No venue security crew is equipped to deal with mobs with molotovs…

        That’s easy. Have your venue in a gun-permissive state, and then have a working verbal agreement with the local Socialist Rifle Association to do replacement events/rallies when some hate group books your thing to come around and very obviously open carry.

        I’d suggest Pinkertons, but they’re pretty fascist. (They’ve been on the wrong side of history for most of their history.)

        My company would drop you like a sack of rocks for the stunt.
